Dog sets new world record for longest ears

This black and tan Coonhound has got no excuse for not hearing when he's called. Why? Because he's got the longest ears of any dog in the world!

Eight-year-old Harbor's left ear is 31.1cm long, while his right ear is even longer, at 34.3cm.

They've made him a bit of a celeb in his hometown of Boulder, Colorado, but having such big ears isn't easy.

As a puppy, he used to trip over them and roll down the stairs, and these days he gets a LOT of attention.

Harbor's owner, Jennifer Wert, said: "Cars will literally stop in the street to take a closer look and get a picture.

"Often strangers will tug his ears which he really doesn't enjoy."

Coonhounds are known for having long ears, but they're actually designed to help the dogs smell by sweeping different scents nearer their noses.

California man arrested for biting pet python twice

A man in the Californian city of Sacramento has been accused of biting a pet snake, leaving the python seriously hurt, police say.

Police were called to the northern part of the city on Thursday evening expecting to respond to an assault.
While officers were speaking to David Senk, 54, found lying at the scene, a witness accused him of taking two bites out of the snake.
The python is recovering after being given emergency surgery.
It was turned over to the city's Animal Care Services after losing a few ribs.
"She's doing well," Gina Knepp, acting animal care services manager, told the Sacramento Bee. "We did surgery on her last night and I think we saved her life."
Mr Senk was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile.
While in jail, Mr Senk told local media that he had no memory of the incident and that he had a drinking problem.

Meerkat pups debut at Kirkcudbright wildlife park

Five meerkat pups have made their debut appearance at a wildlife park in Kirkcudbright, about three weeks after they were born.

The meerkat pups are making their first visit outside their underground burrow

The pups were born underground and only opened their eyes when they were two weeks old.Their appearance at Galloway Wildlife Conservation Park is their first visit outside their underground burrow.

Conservation manager John Denerley said: "The five pups at only 10cm tall are still being nursed by mum,"

"[They] have started to eat mealworms, fruit and one even tried a locust but seemed to have more fun carrying it around."

Diurnal creatures

Meerkats are active during the day and forage together as a mob in the morning and evening, shading under bushes or underground during the hottest part of the day.

They typically live in social groups of between three and 50 with a clearly dominant breeding pair.

Last year, a pair of meerkat babies became the first pups to be born at the conservation park for four years.
